New Century Signs’ creative force is our design department, which works outside the box when it comes to creative and original signage solutions. We turn your vision into a concept, and a concept into a detailed design that becomes reality. Our design is objective driven and is based on what we learn from our discussions with you throughout the consultation process. Our tried and true design process keeps all parties on the same page in terms of design layout, look and feel, and the finished product.

From Concept to Completion.

Concept

We will work with you to select the right materials – do you want a cedar sign, or a laminate that looks like cedar? New Century Signs’ designer will work with you to develop design concepts that meet your vision, your needs and your budget.

Design

We will present three concepts for client review. The concept selected will be revised, tightened and polished. Once that concept design is approved, the design become more detailed and closer to reality.

Our design department uses the latest graphic utilities to take your project from the idea stage through furnished renderings of the signage super imposed on its intended location. You will see your sign and exactly how it will look in context to your building or site. This ensures that there will be no surprises during installation. Our expert renderings let you know exactly what you are getting. We will also determine the material that would be suit your sign, the nature of your business and your site.

Detailed Design

At this stage, our design department will polish the concept, and inspect each nut, bolt, screw and anchor for your signage supports and mounting/installation materials  We will provide you with shop drawings that we build from, as well as stamped engineering drawings that will guide us easily throughout the fabrication and installation processes.

Upon approval of all sketches and material samples we proceed to the fabrication of your sign. Files can be obtained from New Century Signs if needed. Progress is updated once a week in a production meeting and every afternoon with the production foremen.
